Yankees demote Anthony Volpe from leadoff spot after brutal stretch
For the first time in about three months, there has been a change in the top of the Yankees’ batting lineup. One young player was replaced, with Ben Rice batting first instead of Anthony Volpe in the series finale against the Reds in the Bronx. Volpe last appeared in the lineup on April 9th and […]
Anthony Volpe’s slump has Yankees in a leadoff quagmire
Anthony Volpe has been in a slump, turning his breakout season into statistical mediocrity. He also has his customary place in the batting order, but his status as a leadoff hitter seems to be fading. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged the No. 1 spot in the lineup is “in flux” before the Yankees’ 3-2 loss to […]
Yankees giving Luis Gil another start to sort struggles out
Over the course of three starts, Luis Gil went from being a candidate for the American League All-Star Game to being questioned about whether he would remain in the Yankees’ starting rotation. While he obviously won’t be a starter in this month’s All-Star Game in Texas, manager Aaron Boone confirmed Wednesday that the 26-year-old will […]
Yankees’ anemic offense struggles again in loss to Reds
Carlos Rodon’s few mistakes were heavily criticised. His club made a lot of mistakes on the offensive side of things. This version of the Yankees is loaded with stars at the top of their lineup, but they don’t have the length of Muggsy Bogues, and they have little room for error, and if they do, […]
Anthony Volpe in the throes of dreadful Yankees slump
Anthony Volpe is coming down with a cold. “It’s been a tough week for him,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “Teams are attacking him in the strike zone.” Volpe has appeared in 23 games since June 26th, batting .191 with a .461 OPS, no home runs, 29 strikeouts and three walks. Anthony Volpe is in […]
Yankees confident Juan Soto’s hand injury is thing of past
Juan Soto, who was a surprise addition to the lineup for Sunday’s game at Toronto after initially missing with a right hand contusion, returned to the right field position on Tuesday against the Bronx. Manager Aaron Boone is confident Soto has overcome his hand issue after a day of rest on Monday. “I feel OK,” […]
Struggling Yankees get July off to sour note with loss to Reds
Facing Cincinnati closer Alexis Diaz in the ninth inning, the Yankees’ best hope, as always, was to wait for Aaron Judge to step up to the plate. Unfortunately for the Yankees, it took two batters to reach base to catch Judge, who has been the bulk of the Yankees’ offense lately. But Trent Grisham struck […]
Frankie Montas back in The Bronx with Reds after Yankees letdown
On Thursday, the Yankees will get to see something they haven’t seen much of the past two seasons: a healthy Frankie Montas pitching in the Bronx. Montas, now with the Reds, is scheduled to take the mound as the starter at Yankee Stadium on Thursday after a tough 18-month season with the Yankees. “A lot […]
Ben Rice ‘as advertised’ with bat after being fast-tracked to Yankees
Ben Rice has played more games in the majors (12) than in Triple-A (11). And he’s doing it at a position where he started just 52 professional games before being promoted to the Bronx last month. But it wasn’t the 25-year-old’s defense that prompted the Yankees to hire Rice as first baseman in place of […]
